A Platform for AI Governance

YC S25

About the Company

We’re Tecto (YC S25), on a mission to help enterprises trust and adopt AI with confidence. Think of us as the system of record for AI employees — we help companies discover, evaluate, and continuously monitor AI tools for compliance, performance, and ROI.

We’re already live with law firms and piloting with Big 4 consulting firms and enterprise clients. Backed by Y Combinator, we’re building the category-defining platform for AI governance at scale.

Tech Stack

We benchmark AI tools at the application level — testing how they actually perform inside enterprise workflows. That means:

  • Building and curating datasets that capture real-world use cases (law, consulting, finance)
  • Running scenario-based evaluations that simulate day-to-day employee usage
  • Using LLMs as judges to score outputs on faithfulness, bias, safety, and usefulness
  • Tackling integration complexity as we connect with dozens of third-party AI systems and APIs

All of this flows into real-time trust and compliance scores that enterprises can use to make adoption decisions with confidence. Under the hood, we’re combining ML research, large-scale data processing, and intuitive product design to make AI governance seamless.

I bring 10+ yrs experience navigating highly regulated spaces. I developed and launched AI-enabled tools for US gov and private sector, gaining firsthand experience with the rigorous scrutiny that comes with adopting AI solutions. I developed and scaled a hardware technology to replace nuclear gauge testing in the construction industry during my PhD, saving States $Ms that resulted in publishing an ASTM international standard.
